Surah Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread), verse 2 of 120 · Juz 6

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُحِلُّوا۟ شَعَـٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا ٱلشَّهْرَ ٱلْحَرَامَ وَلَا ٱلْهَدْىَ وَلَا ٱلْقَلَـٰٓئِدَ وَلَآ ءَآمِّينَ ٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلْحَرَامَ يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرِضْوَٰنًا ۚ وَإِذَا حَلَلْتُمْ فَٱصْطَادُوا۟ ۚ وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَـَٔانُ قَوْمٍ أَن صَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ أَن تَعْتَدُوا۟ ۘ وَتَعَاوَنُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلْبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ ۚ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ

Translations of Quran 5:2
EnglishTalal Itani

O you who believe! Do not violate Allah’s sacraments, nor the Sacred Month, nor the offerings, nor the garlanded, nor those heading for the Sacred House seeking blessings from their Lord and approval. When you have left the pilgrim sanctity, you may hunt. And let not the hatred of people who barred you from the Sacred Mosque incite you to aggression. And cooperate with one another in virtuous conduct and conscience, and do not cooperate with one another in sin and hostility. And fear Allah. Allah is severe in punishment.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

O ye who believe! Profane not Allah's monuments nor the Sacred Month nor the offerings nor the garlands, nor those repairing to the Sacred House, seeking the grace and pleasure of their Lord. But when ye have left the sacred territory, then go hunting (if ye will). And let not your hatred of a folk who (once) stopped your going to the inviolable place of worship seduce you to transgress; but help ye one another unto righteousness and pious duty. Help not one another unto sin and transgression, but keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is severe in punishment.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ey o bütün iman edenler! ne Allah’ın şeâirine, ne şehri harâma, ne kurbanlık hediyyelere, ne gerdanlıklarına ne de mevlâlarının gerek fazlını ve gerek rızasını arayarak beyt-i harâma doğru gelenlere sakın hurmetsizlik etmeyin, ihramdan çıktığınız zaman isterseniz avlanın, sizi Mescid-i haramdan menettiler diye bir takımlarına karşı beslediğiniz kin sakın sizi tecavüze sevk etmesin, birr-ü takvâ üzere yardımlaşın, günah-ü taaddi üzere yardımlaşmayın, Allah’dan korkun çünkü Allah’ın ıkabı çok şiddetlidir.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ô croyants ! Gardez-vous de violer le mois sacré ; respectez les offrandes et les ornements que l’on suspend aux victimes. Respectez ceux qui se pressent à la maison de Dieu pour y chercher la grâce et la satisfaction de leur Seigneur. Quand vous êtes rendus à l’état profane, vous pouvez vous livrer à la chasse. Que le ressentiment contre ceux qui cherchaient à vous repousser de l’oratoire sacré ne vous porte pas à des actions injustes. Aidez-vous plutôt mutuellement à pratiquer le bien et la piété ; mais ne vous aidez point dans le mal et dans l’injustice, et craignez Dieu, car ses châtiments sont terribles.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

O, ware geloovigen! schendt niet de heilige voorschriften van God, noch de heilige maand, noch de offerande, noch de versierselen daaraan hangende. Eerbiedigt hen, die naar het heilige huis reizen, om de gunst des Heeren te zoeken en hem te behagen. Maar indien gij uwen pelgrimstocht hebt volbracht, jaagt dan. En laat de boosheid van hen, die u zouden willen beletten, den heiligen tempel binnen te gaan u niet tot onrechtvaardigheden verlokken. Helpt elkander naar rechtvaardigheid en vroomheid, maar ondersteunt elkander niet in onrechtvaardigheid en boosheid; vreest dus God; want God is een streng straffer.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

O credenti! Badate di non violare le ceremonie religiose del pellegrinaggio; il mese sacro, le offerte, e gli ornamenti. Rispettate quei che si presentano alla casa di Dio per cercarvi la grazia, ed il gradimento del Signore. Quando sarà finito il pellegrinaggio, potrete andare a caccia. Il risentimento di coloro che cercavano a respingervi dall’Oratorio sacro, non vi porti ad azioni ingiuste. Aiutatevi piuttosto scambievolmente ad esercitare atti di virtù e di pietà, ma non vi ajutate nel male e nell’ingiustizia, e temete Dio, poichè è terribile ne’ suoi gastighi.
